Replaced the factory straps on a pair of Luna Origens with the Black Bear strap kit. The factory straps just dug in too much after a while on my feet and had a tendency to loosen on my wide and high volume feet (I’m 10EEEE in US men’s.) Restrapped sandals feel way more secure, and provide better adjustability for my foot width. Comfort with the new straps is improved as well; the slightly padded nature of the straps being sewn fabric and hook-and-loop vs just plain nylon strapping is a nice bonus.
While I did have to spend a good bit of time on getting my Luna footbeds to fit the side posts and the anchor tabs, I attribute that more to the fact that the Luna Origens are recycled tire sole, not really designed to be turned into a sandal to begin with nor modified at will by owners. Hardest part, for me, was pulling the side strap anchor tabs through the fairly-inflexible tire rubber.

I ordered in early September and cold weather hit sooner than I had wanted, so I have not had much chance to wear the sandals with these straps, but the construction and materials feel durable; at least as durable as my Bedrocks or the factory Luna straps.

A small suggestion for Toetem: my ankle bones sit pretty high up on my foot. The side posts as installed on my Origens sit about 1.75”/44.5mm below my ankle bones. Maybe taller sideposts as a selectable option in the future if people want a bit more security around the heel?

I like my new Toteam sandals: they are simple, light, very comfortable. My first pair.

I run trail and road races in minimalist shoes. The sandals on the market just don’t measure up to these Toetem’s. I’ve got almost 50 miles in these so far, and they’ve performed excellent. Comfortable. Versatile. Durable. I only look forward to getting the thinner ones for my daily use so I have more ground feel when doing errands and non-sport.

The leather is so soft and the top straps are excellent! Not abrasive at all and fit very comfortably! Just fantastic sandals!

I wear these almost every day! It’s so hard to find shoes that are both plastic-free and vegan. There is a break-in period. Push through it! It’s worth it!

Purchased in the outlet and they are in very good condition. Just wish they had the “T” logo on the side post like the non outlet ones. Can’t complain about the function as they break in fast and are super comfortable. Love the adjustable positioning of the top strap for whatever adventure you’re doing.

Love the fit. The leather is really comfortable. if unsure on sizing, print out the foot guide, u cant go wrong. FYI for asian delivery, pls be very patience as it will take up to 20 working days to reach you.

I have been asked where I got these at least ten times. Super comfortable. Fit like a glove

Been using Toetem Sandals for 3 years and I cannot wear anything else. This is was my third purchase after I broke one in Hawaii during hiking.

First off I'm not a devout barefoot shoe/sandal wearer. I still wear traditional shoes for activities. These sandals feel great and mold to my foot very well. I wear them for walking around town and for some trail use. I like to use barefoot sandals to strengthen my feet and ankles and these are some of the most comfortable I've worn. Simple to adjust and I love that the cross foot strap can be adjusted up and down your foot easily depending on the lockdown you want for your given activity. Highly recommend for the barefoot enthusiast and anyone looking to test out the minimalist footwear industry.

There aren't words to describe how awesome the sandals are. What a fantastic company to do business with. Even the family dog (Kuleana) approves. What more needs to be said. Just buy a pair you will not regret it.

Excellent sandals. Very comfortable, and made in the states by a small business. Will definitely buy from Toetem again.

The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn, got them last week and they’ve been on my feet every day since. I’m planning for them to be my daily footwear. From trail running, to light farm work, to meetings, to dancing the night away— they can’t be beat! Love how soft the straps and leather footbed are, plus good grip/tread on the soles. Fine so far when wet too. Thank you Toetem!!

Most comfortable sandals I’ve ever worn. The straps hug the foot without constricting or digging into my foot. Awesome sandals!!

These sandals have some of the best build quality I have seen, they're very comfortable and ergonomic. The leather feels great on your feet and the strapping hardware all feels premium. I needed to size up and Rones customer service was really great and the overall experience was easy. I will be buying another pair in the future! Thank you Rone!
